Funlux surveillance hard drive issue. 1 tb, is full, need formatting , it takes 5 minutes plus to format. Every 2 minutes it reboot, trying to record, won't finish formatting. Disconnected cameras,

1. Check the storage capacity of your USB drive. If it's full, free up some space or use a larger USB drive.
2. Check if the USB drive is formatted correctly. It should be formatted in a file system that is compatible with your TV.
3. Make sure the TV is set to record to the correct source (USB drive).
4. If the TV is still not recording, try restarting the TV and the USB drive.
5. If the issue persists, check for any firmware updates for your TV and install them if available.
6. If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact Polaroid customer support for further assistance.

Keep in mind that the exact steps to resolve this issue may vary depending on the model of your Polaroid smart TV.

The only thing that I can think of is that you need to go into computer management and click on the "disk management" sub-heading under storage. From there all of the hard drives in the computer should show up. Find the new hard drive in the list and right click on the part where is say Disk 1 or Disk 2 or which ever disk is the correct one (it should be around 930gb or so). Then select initialize disk, and follow the wizard through the choices to setup the disk as a basic hard drive. After the disk is initialized you need to format it and then you should be access the drive in my computer.

The reason that this happened to you is that FAT32 supports a maximum of 32GB. You can refer to the following table for information on the size limitations
http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs_vs_fat.htm
Now to correct your situation and get the full disk size formatted NTFS, do the following
1) Right click on My Computer 2) Click Manage 3) Click Disk Management 4) Locate the drive on the right hand side, verify that you have the proper one, check the size (it will list the full size on left of the drive listing 5) Right click on any partitions and delete them ("Delete Volume") 6) Right click on the empty space and create an NTFS partition, you will be prompted for the size of the disk, it will default to the full disk on a 1TB drive. So you should be able to just accept that prompt. 7) Format the disk NTFS
You can do a quick format, but considering all the changes made, you might want to consider doing a full format. I will warn you that it will take more time (probably 2-3 hours vs seconds on quick format) but I would trust my data better knowing it was fully formatted properly.
Good luck!

You probably formatted it as HFS+ to work with your Mac. Windows cannot do anything with that format. If you are wanting to use the drive with both Windows and Mac, you are going to have to format the drive as FAT32. There is a 4GB per file size limitation with FAT32. Otherwise there isn't anything that you can do.
To format your drive as FAT32 with a Mac OS X, Version 10.4 and above:
1. Make sure you have copied any needed files to another location. 2. Select Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
In the left hand column, click on the drive icon for the Iomega drive or disk.
Make sure you click on the high level orange drive icon, not the second level volume icon.
3. Select the Partition tab. 4. Change Volume Scheme from Current to 1 Partition. 5. Click on the Options button. 6. Select Master Boot Record as the partition type. 7. Click the Format drop-down menu and select MS-DOS File System as the format type. 8. Click OK. 9. Click the Partition button

I have an instruction manual for this.

Hello,

During the process of removing the back up and other software, it is possible that you have removed the software that is useful for the canivio plus 1 TB portable drive and that is why it is displaying virtually all the hard drive bad.

I advice you return it to best buy and complain that the hard drive is malfunctioning, since it is just yesterday you bought it, it should be replaced.

Note, while setting it up, be very careful not delete any important software that might be useful to you.

Take care.

Try downloading EASUS Partition manager http://www.partition-tool.com/. I have not used this with FAT formats but it works fine with NTFS, and allows you to alter partition sizes without losing data.

As far as I know it is only supported by Windows, so you may have to use a Windows machine to re-partition.

Hi and welcome to Fixya..

Reinstalling Windows XP on an Acer Aspire 3000 is fairly straightforward. You may need to reinstall Windows XP due to hardware failure, a virus infection, major hardware changes or a hard drive upgrade. Whatever the reason, you can do the reinstall yourself at home. The reinstall will take anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours, depending on the size of your hard drive. Be aware that reinstalling Windows XP will format your hard drive, getting rid of all data on, so you'll want to back it all up on a media device.

• Step 1

Back up all data on your computer before reinstalling.

Step 2 Insert the Windows XP disk and restart your computer.

Step 3 Press any key when prompted to begin running the disk.

Step 4 Press F8 to agree to the terms of service.

Step 5 Choose the partition you want to reinstall Windows XP on. This is usually "C:" for most users.

Step 6 Choose the type of format. You can choose either "Quick" or "Full" for NTFS systems. A quick format only takes a few minutes less than the full format.

Step 7 Wait for the format to complete. The Windows XP installation wizard will begin. You will be asked to choose your time zone, computer name, and to input any network information. Otherwise, the reinstall will run by itself.

I hope this helps

ya ! one thing go the drive properties and try to disk cleanup...( it will not erase your data, its just remove unwanted and temp file) then open that drive

Hi G-DyBiec

If the video capture automatically stops capturing at approximately 18 minutes (17 minutes and 55 seconds), then most likely the drive that is being capture to, is formated using Microsoft's FAT32 file system. Microsoft's FAT32 file system has a maxium file size of 4 GigaBytes (4 GB), which equates to a DV video clip of nearly 18 minutes. (18 minutes = 1080 seconds, @ a data rate of 3.6 MB/sec is approximately 4GB). So for hard drives that are formatted using FAT32, this behavior is normal. This is not a limitation of Studio..

To see what file system your hard drive uses do the following:

1. Right click on the Start button and choose Explore
2. Under My Computer, locate and highlight the drive you are capturing to
3. Right click and select Properites
4. On the General tab, towards the top, it will say "File System". It will be listed as either FAT32 or NTFS.

There are a few solutions if your drives are formatted using FAT32:

1. Convert your FAT32 hard drive to NTFS *
2. If you can copy any important data from this drive to other drives, it may be faster to re-format the FAT32 drive using the NTFS file system. **
3. You can do multiple 18 minute captures and string them together in the Edit mode of Studio.
   • Since the first 18 minutes is already captured, rewind the camcorder or VCR to 5 - 10 seconds before the initial capture stopped (which can be edited out later in Studio).
   • Start a new capture to a new file name.
   • Repeat this process until all the desired video is captured from the tape.
   • After all the files have been captured, go to Edit and assemble the captured files from the Album to the timeline in the order you desire.

This is a manual method to workaround Microsoft's FAT32 file system and if this is too time intensive for your needs, then steps 1 and 2 above may be more suitable and should be considered.
* Note: If you need assistance with step 1 above, go to the Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/ and search on "convert FAT32 to NTFS".
** Note: If you need assistance with step 2 above, go to the Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/ and search on "how to format a drive in XP".

NOTE: Microsoft's NTFS file system is only supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. NTFS support a file size of 4 TB (terra bytes), which is larger than any current consumer hard drive capacity, so if NTFS is used, the capture file size will only be limited by the size of the hard drive.
